THE ROLE OF STUFF IN TRANSPORT OF CRITICALY ILL OR INJURED PATIENTS IN OUR CONDITIONS
Quick, proper and efficient transport is an integral part of all measures taken in treatment and effective care of polytraumatized patients. Before or during the transport, without regard to the transportation means, such patients often need their airways to be protected, connection to mechanical ventilation, applying of oxygen, infusion solution, painkillers or some other drugs. Continual monitoring of vital functions is required part of treatment during transport of critically ill or injured patients. Their transport, beside adequate equipment, demands theoretically and practically well trained stuff. In most European countries anesthesiologists have primary role especially in interhospital transport (for example in transport of neurosurgical patient from local to university hospital). Unfotunatelly, in our conditions transport is often carried out by unsufficiently skilled medical stuff without adequate equipment and experience what may have an effect on treatment success and surviva.

CONGNITIVE AND MOTORICAL COMPONENT OF FEAR IN ADOLESCENTS FROM STOMATOLOGICAL TREATMENT
By the investigation it was attempted to explain the fear in adolescents from stomatological treatment, by appraisement of fear through its two components (congnitive and motorical). Congnitive component was followed by means of question mark before first stomatologican intervention (by the standard scale of general anxiety). In the research participated 100 adolescents. On the basis of analysis of question-marks, examinees were distributed into three groups: normal, pathological and increasingly anxious. On the occasion of third stomatological intervention, the patients obtained placebo (vitamine C, half tablet, orally, 30 minutes before the initiation of stomatological interventions which were identical, i.e. the sanation of deep caries has been carried out). The motorical component (entering the dentist's office, sitting down in a dentis chair and tonning of muscles) were appraised by the method of clinical observations. All parameters were measured before all three stomatological interventions. In this study, in parameters measured by clinical observation the number of questioned people who enter and sit down voluntarily, has increased and the number of people who are showing the signs of tension and who shiver has decreased, at using of placebo therapy.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE METABOLIC SYNDROME ON THE ETIOPATHOGENESIS OF BILIARY CALCULOSIS
The metabolic syndrome is characterized by a group of metabolic risk factors causing type 2 diabetes (DM2) and cardiovascular diseases. At the heart of this pathogenic disorder is insulin resistance. The metabolic syndrome is often accompanied by diseases of the gallbladder (chronic inflammations and calculosis). The goal of our study was to observe the changes made on the gallbladder with patients diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome, specifically the presence of calculosis and cholecystitis. The study involved 130 patients with the metabolic syndrome and 40 healthy subjects, all of which were subjected to abdominal ultrasonography. Gallbladder calculosis was found in 36,92% subjects of the study group and 12,50% subjects of the control group, resulting in a statistically considerable difference (p<0,001). The results of our study indicate a significant presence of biliary calculosis as one of the manifestations of the metabolic syndrome on the biliary system.

NEUROPHYSIOLOGIC CORRELATES OF EPILEPSY IN COMPLEX FEBRILE SEIZURES
Febrile seizures are the most common neurological disorder of early childhood. By expressing the characteristics febrile seizures are divided into simple and complex. Our aim was to determine the elektroencephalography characteristics in children who had febrile seizures, and determine the relation between types of febrile seizures correlates with the appearance of epilepsy in children aged 9-11 years. In the group of children studied, 50% had a complex febrile seizures, 42.2% had simple febrile seizures, and 7.8% children had febrile epileptic status. The analysis of EEG findings observed were statistically significant differences in specific changes in the EEG depending on the type of febrile attack that the child would have. In the group of children with simple febrile attacks 92.1% has a normal EEG, 2.6% had a specific, a 5.3% nonspecific finding. For children with complex febrile attack, 44.4% have a specific, and 13.3% of non-specific changes in EEG. Specific changes in the EEG has 28.6% of children who had febrile epileptic status.

ADRENERGIC β2 AGONISTS IN THERAPY OF PATIENTS 2 WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Bronchial asthma is the syndrome, characterized with chronic inflammation, hyperreactivity and obstruction of the respiratory pathways, accompanied with consequential symptoms and remodeling of the respiratory pathways. Application of inhaled corticosteroids accompanied with appropriate education of patients, significantly improve therapeutic treatment and outcome of the asthma. But, improvement of the lung function and patients subjective state is remarkable better yif inhaled corticosteroids are combined with adrenergic â2 agonists, than if the dose of inhaled corticosteroids is increased. So, according to Global initiative for asthma and clinical results long acting adrenergic â2 agonists in combination with inhaled corticosteroids are most efficient in asthma treatment and establishment and conservation of bronchial asthma control.

APPLICATION THE PERSONAL COMPUTERS IN RADIOLOGY
In this paper the role of personal computers (PC) in radiology was emphasised. PC have important role in medial image generation, in digital RTG, ultrasonography, endoscopy, tomography (CT, MR, PET). We emphasised the importance of PC in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) and image postprocessing, control and managing of radiology systems and PACS-a (Picture Archiving and Communication System) based on PC for transfer and archiving of medical images.

ENTS WITH PURULENTMENINGITIS MYELOPEROXIDASE ACTIVITY IN SERUM AND CEREBROSPINAL FLUID OF PATIENTS WITH PURULENT MENINGITIS
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a heme enzyme present in the primary granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) participate in oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity of these cells. During the course of bacterial meningitis plenty of PMNs leave blood vessels and migrate to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space, and some of their MPO may become, extracellular. MPO activity in control CSF is low (Me = 0.5 U/L), comparing with patients CSF samples of all three groups of proteinorrachia where elevated values were found already on admission (3.5 U/L, 5.0 U/L and 12.0 U/L, respectively), with highest values found during second lumbal punction (5.5 U/L, 7.5 U/L and 14.0 U/L, respectively). Poor correlation was found between albumin quotient and MPO activity CSF/serum, but significant correlation between MPO in CSF and CSF PMNs count.

PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF VAGINAACCOMPAINED WITH HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS INFECTION (HPV)
Apart from great frequency of epithelian, especially preinvasive changes, some very rear diseases common for other lower parts of genital tract (cervix and vulva), are vaginal epithelian changes and especially vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN). That's the reason why we don't usually think about this disease, which can have very serious consequences, especially in late discovering of changes in the stadium of invasive malign disease.The aim of this work was to diagnose all pathological changes on vagina: benign, premalign and malign, according to the age of female patients. Biopsy and operative material taken from 1331 female patients treated in Ginecology and Obstetrics Clinic “Narodni front” in Belgrade, were used in this study. The most diagnosed benign changes was condylomata acuminate (42%). Out of 20 cases of premalign changes, VAIN I was diagnosed in 5 cases (25%) as a slight degree of premalign changes, while VAIN II and VAIN III were diagnosed in 5 cases as a severe degree of premalign lesions. Out of 11 cases, there were 3 cases (27.27%) of invasive planocellar vagina carcinoma with histological degree G1N1. 8 cases (72.72%) were with histological degree G2N2, while there were not a single case with histological degree G3N3. Planocellar vagina carcinoma is the most common in the age of 41-50.

DEPRESSION AND SUICIDALATTEMPTS AT TREATMENT ACNE VULGARIS WITH ISOTRETINOIN
Oral isotretinoin is highly effective in treatment of patients with severe acne, but has been concerned with causing occasional depression. Clinicians should be alert to the high prevalence of depression among people with acne. Isotretinoin has many unwanted effects, among which possible unproven effects on mood have to be included. If depression or other mood change occurs, then isotretinoin treatment should be discontinued. If treatment is continued, psychiatric support should be obtained.

THE FRACTURES OF THE LOWER LEG AND HEALTHING THE FRACTURES WITH EXSTERNAL FIKSATER BY MITKOVICH USING THE CLOSED
The fractures of the tibia are mainly the fractures of the long bones. In the department of the orthopedic in Kosovska Mitrovica, 45 of patient with fracture of the lower leg had been treated with using the closed method. It had been the linear fractures in the 84% of the treated cases.The most number of the patients were treated in the hospital for 5 days. In our healing we are noticed the folowed complications in the treated patients: the major infections around the pin were in the 4% of the treated patients (2 patients),the fat embolism were in the 2% of the treated patients (1 patient),the pseudoarthrosis were in the 4% of the treated patients (2 patients). Aplication the extrafocal fixat r by Mitkovich using the closed method made possible that the fracture became stable in fast and simply way with the minnor invasion at the soft tissues and with this are made the conditions for splicing of the fractures.
